Quick update on Mend: Hardware scanner added and database expanded

Hi all,

Just a quick heads-up on the progress with Mend. I’ve just pushed an update that includes the hardware scanner.

What’s new:

\- Expanded Scan: The utility now picks up Audio, Ethernet, and USB/Bluetooth controllers.

\- Distro Support: Added package mapping for pacman, apt, dnf, and zypper.

\- Updated DB: Included the hardware IDs shared in the previous threads (Intel Cannon Lake, Renoir, etc.).

If you want to test it out, the scan command is mend -s. It’ll cross-reference your kit and suggest the right packages via fzf.

If anyone has a spare second to run lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|3D|Network|Ethernet|Audio|USB' and drop their output below, I’ll get those IDs added to the database as well.

Cheers for the help so far.
